The benchmarking summarized in
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-May/113525.html showed
this is beneficial for a wide range of cores.
As is to be expected, quite a few small adaptations are needed to the
regressions tests, as the difference in scheduling results in:
- Quite a few small instruction schedule differences.
- A few changes in register allocation decisions caused by different
instruction schedules.
- A few changes in IfConversion decisions, due to a difference in
instruction schedule and/or the estimated cost of a branch mispredict.

If we don't, values that aren't precisely representable in f16 could
be used as-is in a promoted f32 operation, which would produce
incorrect results.
AArch64 had the correct behavior; add a focused test.

Summary:
Some target lowerings of FP_TO_FP16, for instance ARM's vcvtb.f16.f32
instruction, do not guarantee that the top 16 bits are zeroed out.
Remove the unsafe AssertZext and add tests to exercise this.

Summary:
During legalization if i16, do not ASSERTZEXT the result of FP_TO_FP16.
Directly return an FP_TO_FP16 node with return type as the
promote-to-type of i16.
This patch also removes extraneous length check. This legalization
should be valid even if integer and float types are of different
lengths.
This patch breaks a hard-float test for fp16 args. The test is changed
to allow a vmov to zero-out the top bits, and also ensure that the
return value is in an FP register.
